this is my best estimate after seeing the release dates of each zelda:


feb 08-may 08= announcement
2009-2011= release
 
I don't really understand how any of you guys can say TP was better than Ocarina of Time. I don't really have a problem with TP it's just that Ocarina of Time really just sums up my teenage years. Ocarina of Time is a time tested classic that just can't be knocked off by some motion controls. When Shiek teaches Link the Serenade of Water I was almost brought to tears :sad:. Midna to me was just a replacement for Navi, who was in my opinion his best sidekick. They are both annoying in their own rites but when I think Link I think of him with his little ball of light with wings floating beside him.
 
Meh, I don't think we've seen the end of the Zelda and friends. I mean, Nintendo is going to keep milking that cash cow until the milk stops flowing, so aside from a lengthy await time I can't see this as the end. Zelda is Miyamoto's baby so to speak here.

If it is the end then maybe you guys can talk Phillips into creating a couple? Not sure if this was JUST for Phillips hardware however they managed to squeeze out an almost unlimited usage license of 5 Nintendo characters (Mario, Luigi, Zelda, Link, and Gannon) and created a series of there own Zelda titles back in the day on there CDi. Worst case scenario Phillips might be able to step up to the plate if Nintendo is bored cashing Zelda checks. :lol:

When I think of Link beside a fairy I think I need to run over it to re-fill my life meter before everything goes black again. :) Man I love retro gaming.
 
This is my same post on the topic below yours :lol:

Here's an IGN article on the subject, it was written after quizzing Miyamoto:

E3 2007: Aonuma and Miyamoto on Next Wii Zelda
Some ideas are being thrown around, but don't expect a sequel anytime soon.
by Matt Casamassina

US, July 12, 2007 - The launch of Twilight Princess with the Wii was a first for Nintendo, which has never delivered a Zelda game so early in the life cycle of a new console. So does that mean fans may not be treated to another Zelda project, this time developed exclusively for Wii? Well, at the very least, it looks like it's going to be awhile, Speaking with IGN Wii, Twilight Princess director Eiji Aonuma and Nintendo producer Shigeru Miyamoto collectively indicated that while some ideas are being tossed around for a new Wii Zelda project, nothing is very far along, or set in stone.

Asked if Twilight Princess would be Wii's last Zelda, Aonuma said, "I can't say, but I guess for now, maybe, yeah [laughs]. Not to say that it's going to be the final game. There's still a lot of potential with the Wii so there's still a possibility that there could be another Zelda for it. We do have some ideas in the works, but I can't say for sure because none of them have been approved and we're still very much in the planning process, so I hope you look forward to whatever comes out."

While Twilight Princess performed under expectations in Japan, the newly released DS title, Phantom Hourglass, is selling very well, and Nintendo is taking notice of gamers' reactions. "The Phantom Hourglass has been released in Japan and reception has been very, very positive," said Aonuma. "We've actually been able to receive feedback from the users and we'll definitely take all of those comments into consideration when creating the next Zelda, whether it be for Wii or DS."

Shigeru Miyamoto elaborated on the likelihood of another Wii Zelda. "It's really hard to say because we've never had a Zelda that's appeared so early in the life cycle of the system, so it's definitely possible that there would be another Zelda on Wii," he said. "Of course, the challenge is that typically a Zelda game is something that takes three years to develop, so we'll just have to wait and see."

What you have to realize is that Zelda is no throw together. They really take their time developing the game, I mean, they REALLY take time to work on it. That's what keeps Zelda going so strong, I think.

There are always many things unique about each one, so it wouldn't surprise me if it took three or so years for another release.
